INSTALLATION OF PSW-141 PRESSURE
SWITCH
NOTE:
Each switch is calibrated in the vertical
positionꢀ It is recommended the switch be
mounted in the vertical position, as viewed
in Figure 1ꢀ Any adjustments to the
setpoint or deadband should be performed
with the instrument in the mounted positionꢀ
The PSW-141 differential pressure switch is suitable for clean air
or inert gas applicationsꢀ If dust is present, a small in-line filter is
recommended to insure long, trouble-free operationꢀ The normal
operating temperature range is from 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 115°F),
and the normal humidity range from 10% to 90% RꢀHꢀ
Figure 1
Air connections are by means of 3/16” (4ꢀ75mm) barbed fittings
suitable for 1/4” OꢀDꢀ polyethylene tubing (6mm), 1/8” IꢀDꢀ Tygon or
polyurethane tubing (3 - 4mm)ꢀ
The two mounting holes are 0ꢀ19” (4ꢀ8mm) in diameter and are
suitable for #8 or #10 mounting screwsꢀ

Electrical connections are by means of 3/8” terminal strips with #6
screwsꢀ
Spacing between mounting holes: 4ꢀ75 inches (121 mm)ꢀ
Care should be taken not to exceed the maximum overpressureꢀ

Setpoint Adjustment
Apply full pressure, (or the pressure at which the setpoint is to
activate)ꢀ Rotate the 20 turn Setpoint potentiometer, until the ohm-
meter changes stateꢀ Turn clockwise to increase the set point and
counter-clockwise to decrease the set point
Power consumption is ꢀ35 W for the DC powered units,
1ꢀ70 W for the 24 Vac and 1ꢀ90 W for the 120 Vacꢀ
The power supply leads are connected to the two leftmost termi-
nals (terminals 1 and 2) on the terminal stripꢀ The relay terminals
are accessed across terminals 3, 4, and 5, refer to Figure 1ꢀ
Slowly decrease the pressure until the relay deactivatesꢀ The dif-
ference between the pressure at which the relay deactivates and
the pressure at which the relay activates is the deadbandꢀ If more
deadband is required, turn the deadband potentiometer and re-
peat the previous stepsꢀ Adjustment of the deadband will have a
slight effect on the set point, therefore it will be necessary to re-
peat these steps several timesꢀ
The pressure switch comes with Setpoint and Deadband Adjust-
mentsꢀ These are adjusted at the factory to activate on either fall-
ing or rising pressureꢀ The setpoint is factory set to activate at the
maximum pressureꢀ The deadband is set to 5% of the maximum
pressureꢀ
RELAY SPECIFICATIONS
The output of the SPDT (1 Form C) relay contact is rated at:
5A @ 30 VDC/120 VAC Resisitive
SETPOINT/DEADBAND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
4A @ 240 VAC Resistive
The set point and deadband are field adjustable so long as an
accurate pressure source is available and a qualified technician
performs the adjustmentsꢀ The low pressure switches are extremely
sensitive to sudden pressure changesꢀ
Gold-plated relay contactsꢀ
Electrical life expectancy: 100 x 103 opsꢀ minimum @ 5A
Isolation between coil and contacts: 2000 VAC 1 minute
Maximum switched power: 600 VA (AC) or 120 W (DC)
Operate Time: 8 ms, max (Excluding Bounce)
Release Time: 4 ms, max (Excluding Bounce)
To gain access to the Setpoint or Deadband potentiometers re-
move the black hole plugs above the Setpoint and Deadband la-
bels, located on the top left of the instrumentꢀ To access either
potentiometer use a slotted 3/32” screw driverꢀ
Connect the switch to its appropriate power supplyꢀ
Connect an ohmmeter to the relay contacts “common” and “nor-
mally closed” or “normally open”ꢀ If a switch was ordered with a
relay activated on “Rising Pressure” and the ohmmeter terminals
are connected to the “normally closed” and “common” of the relay,
with no pressure applied, the ohmmeter should read 0 or closed,
refer to Table 2ꢀ
Deadband Adjustment
To set the deadband to zero, turn the Deadband potentiometer
fully counter-clockwise ꢀ Zero deadband will cause the relay to
chatterꢀ It is recommended that some amount of deadband be
usedꢀ Turning the deadband potentiometer clockwise increases
the deadbandꢀ
